About This Improv Documentary Project

In September 2018, after being asked to record improv shows at the San Francisco Improv Festival, it occurred to Dominica that it could be valuable to also interview some visiting improvisers, and she decided to embark on a documentary project about improvisers and improv festivals.
The exact topic for the documentary is still evolving, and will be determined once the theme is fully discovered from the interviews.
